On August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse is coming to the continental United States for the first time in 38 years, which may make it the most viewed total solar eclipse in history. These events generate so much excitement because the orbital mechanics of the earth-moon-sun system keep the moon's shadow small and mobile. It will touch any given spot on the planet only once in over 300 years on average. For that reason, most people must make a concerted effort if they are to witness this event in their lifetimes. In this video we explain the differences between a solar and lunar eclipse and why some believe that a total eclipse of the sun is the greatest natural phenomenon of them all.
If you're anywhere in the continental United States that day, you can preview exactly what the solar eclipse will look like for your particular zip code, and when it will peak.

Architect, artist, designer Julio Garcia had been designing plans for shipping container homes for a decade before he found the perfect place to build one: on a long, narrow stretch of his property in Savannah, Georgia. “I’m a big believer we should be adapting to the environment… I remember walking out and looking at the yard and thinking oh my god the land is calling for this linear design.”
He picked up two 40 foot shipping containers from the Port of Savannah and, thanks to much advance planning, he was able to install them without removing one tree from his property. He offset the two boxes, cut out the interior container walls and added I-beams, a shed roof and clerestory windows in the center to provide plenty of daylighting.
“There’s nothing worse than feeling like you’re inside a container so in the design we had to address that. I’ve been in a couple of projects and they don’t function very well and you’re like, ‘Oh, I still feel like I’m in a metal box’.”
Garcia believes containers can make for affordable homes: “you could put up a structure like this for about 50K”, but much of the interior was salvaged from other job sites (i.e. the drywall and the kitchen). His Price StreetProjects creates plans that are “almost do-it-yourself plans” for shipping container homes and he has installed commercial container spaces, but he’s a big believer that the site should determine the design.

The outgoing head of UNIFIL, Major-General Luciano Portolano, has stressed the importance of continuing close engagement and relations with the local population and the authorities for successful implementation of the UN Mission’s mandate.
“Operationally I define the relationship with the local population as my center of gravity,” he said in a recent interview. “It means an element that, if it exists, might lead to success; if it doesn’t exist it will lead, for sure, to complete disruption of the Mission.”
Major-General Portolano added: “So the link between the UNIFIL members and the local population is the most important element I recommend for the future leadership to take into consideration.”
The ItalianGeneral is leaving UNIFIL next week after leading the UN peacekeeping operation for two years. The UNIFIL Head of Mission and Force Commander is handing over the command to Major-General Michael Beary of Ireland.
Major-General Portolano has had extensive experience with multinational operations, having served as a commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), as well as in Iraq, Kosovo, and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. With the United Nations, he served as a MilitaryObserver in the Iraq-Kuwait Observation Mission and the Iran-Iraq Observation Group. He was also Military Attaché at the ItalianEmbassy in the United Kingdom and he served as the DeputyChief of Staff for Joint Operations in the Italian Armed Forces.
In his final interview to UNIFIL media, Major-General Portolano listed a wide range of accomplishments achieved during his two years at the helm of the UN peacekeeping mission, commanding more than 10,500 troops from 40 countries and nearly 1,000 civilian personnel.
“I arrived here in UNIFIL area of responsibility on the 24 of July 2014 when the war in Syria was ongoing and all the region was characterized by very heavy destabilization,” he said. “So the major highlight I think is that in the two years I was responsible for leading this fantastic UNIFIL mission as the Head of Mission and Force Commander was to maintain the southern part of Lebanon, which is our area of responsibility and our maritime area of responsibility, as one of the most stable areas - not only in Lebanon but in all the Middle East.”
But the role was not without challenges. The outgoing UNIFIL Force Commander contextualized these and also explained how the Mission was able to maintain a notable calm.
“The challenges were all the possible spillovers from the situation in the region and all the spillover from the Syrian conflict in terms of refugees and in terms of possible sleeping cells, and maintaining the integrity of the Blue Line when there was a strong tension between the parties. The solution was a little bit more complex, because in the south we have two Lebanese Armed Forces brigades deployed in order to maintain stability so we had to enforce the presence of UNIFIL on the ground. So we passed from an average of 250 operational activities per day to an average of 400 and sometimes even 500 operational activities per day on the ground, in the air and at sea.”

Republic of Macedonia

Macedonia (i/ˌmæsᵻˈdoʊniə/mas-i-DOH-nee-ə; Macedonian:Македонија, tr.Makedonija, IPA:[makɛˈdɔnija]), officially the Republic of Macedonia (Macedonian: Република Македонија, tr. Republika Makedonija), is a country located in the central Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. It is one of the successor states of the former Yugoslavia, from which it declared independence in 1991. It became a member of the United Nations in 1993, but, as a result of an ongoing dispute with Greece over use of the name Macedonia, it was admitted under the provisional description of "the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" (Поранешна Југословенска Република Македонија, tr. Poranešna Jugoslovenska Republika Makedonija), abbreviated as FYROM.

Humid subtropical climate

A humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa or Cwa) is a zone of subtropical climate characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild winters. Under the Köppen climate definition, this category of climate type covers a broad range of attributes, especially in terms of winter temperatures. Under the more modern Trewartha climate classification, most of the climates that have 8 or more months with a mean temperature of 10 C (50 F) are warm to hot much of the year with mild winters.

Jordan, UN appeal for 700 million US dollars to aid Syrian refugees

Jordan, UN appeal for 700 million US dollars to aid Syrian refugees

Jordan, UN appeal for 700 million US dollars to aid Syrian refugees

(1 Sep 2012) Jordan and the UN refugee agency issued an urgent call to international donors on Saturday for 700 (m) million (US) dollars to help handle the rapidly rising number of Syrian refugees seeking safe haven in the country.
Jordanian Planning Minister Jafaar Hassan said the money would be used to assist 240-thousand refugees and other Syrians in Jordan.
He said they were an added drain on the country's already overburdened water and energy resources.
Some five thousand Syrians crossed into Jordan in a 24-hour period earlier this week.
More than 180-thousand Syrians are now currently sheltering in Jordan.
The United NationsHigh Commissioner for Refugees' (UNHCR) representative Andrew Harper said "many more Syrians" are expected to follow.
"I cannot see one positive indicator that would lead me to believe that the numbers are going to be reduced," he told reporters in Amman.
Harper said he and the Jordanian authorities anticipated they would also have to open other tent camps, if the influx continues as they have witnessed of late.
Jordan's first Zaatari tent city now hosts 25-thousand refugees.
Aid workers at the camp say the rapid influx is making it difficult to fully provide even basic services to new arrivals.
Harper said the needs were growing faster than funds were being received.
Unrest at the Zaatari camp prompted threats on Tuesday from Prime MinisterFayez Tarawneh to deport some 200 refugees rioting in protest over the camp's poor conditions.
Police said 28 officers were wounded in the riot, one of them with a fractured skull.
Many of the refugees have said they find the harsh environment in the camp - set on a parched, treeless stretch of land - a struggle, citing the constant dust storms, snakes and scorpions.
But Information MinisterSameeh Maaytah told the press conference that "there were no deportations."
He added: "Our priority is the safety of the Jordanian state and its stability. After that, our priority is to give full support to our brothers (referring to Syrian refugees)."
Harper added that 1,700 Syrian refugees had returned home over the course of the conflict, and that all those who did, went "voluntarily."
He said authorities were continuing to improve Zaatari camp, saying: "It's not perfect, but it's all we got."

Climate change a growing factor for Muslims at Ramadan

Climate change a growing factor for Muslims at Ramadan

Climate change a growing factor for Muslims at Ramadan

As Muslims around the world begin preparing for a month of Ramadan fasting Thursday, many will be doing so in conditions increasingly harshened by climate change.
In some countries, the situation has got so bad that activists are asking for the topic to be tackled at Friday prayers, one calling for religious scholars to "take ownership of environmental issues."
"They [the Ulema] don’t seem to be doing it because they don’t seem to understand what is going on," Fazlun Khalid told Anadolu Agency this week.
Across Asia, Africa and the Middle East, millions have started to perform their fasts for the Islamic holy month despite displacement from extreme weather, water shortages caused by drought and heat waves, and with food prices inflated by crop failures.
Five of the 10 countries most vulnerable to climate change, according to rankings by international credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s, have large Muslim populations - Bangladesh, Senegal, Nigeria, Philippines and Indonesia.
Though the challenges vary according to each country's geography, many of those hit hardest are in the remote, rural communities of developing countries, where governments have limited resources to tackle the rapid changes.
This is the case for Muslims in northern Bangladesh -- the world’s third most vulnerable country, according to Standard & Poor’s -- where many were displaced by flash-flooding last week.
Shahidul Islam Mondol from the northern Bangladeshi town of Bogra told Anadolu Agency that his small restaurant was one of the numerous losses that the town suffered in floods.
"Ramadan is coming and I don’t know how people will do. Flood water is everywhere - in the kitchen, in the front yards, in the cultivatable lands," he said.
"People are going out of their minds trying to decide where to take shelter. In this situation, many people will not be able to perform the fasting, even if they wish."
Mominul Haq Monju, from the northern Kurigram district, said that while the waters may recede quickly, day laborers will be affected by the damage to crops.
"Because of the flood water, they have no work, they will face difficulty in observing Ramadan. Because of lack of food and money, they will suffer," said Monju.
Last year hundreds of thousands of people were left homeless by heavy flooding, which has become common in northern Bangladesh.
Reservoirs across the border in neighboring India often overspill, leading to flooding during the rainy season. But in the dryer months, they prevent water passing through to Bangladesh, leaving rivers dry and depriving locals of fish; a vital source of nutrition and income.

Google doodle celebrating Happy Earth Day 2017!

Google doodle celebrating HappyEarth Day 2017! by posting a beautiful Google logo on its home page.
Today, we honor the rich, vast Earth that’s sustained generations before us and continues to nurture life and inspire wonder. At an estimated 4.543 billion years of age, the Earth is still the only known object in the Universe known to harbor life. It’s also the densest planet in the Solar System and the largest of the four terrestrial planets. That’s quite an awe-inspiring roster of qualities, if you ask us.
Today’s Doodle follows the story of a fox who dreams about an Earth that’s been polluted and adversely affected by climate change. The fox wakes with a startle, and urgently starts making small lifestyle changes to care for the Earth. Along the way, the fox enlists friends – includin...

Inauguration of new UDD toilet in a village in Bulgaria

The video shows the construction and inauguration party for a UDD toilet (urine-diversion dehydration) in a village in Bulgaria. These types of toilets separate urine from faeces and do not use water for flushing (see ecological sanitation or ecosan). The project was sponsored by WECF and WASTE and was implemented by the BulgarianNGOEarthForever in 2006 (see www.earthforever.org).

Climate change a growing factor for Muslims at Ramadan

As Muslims around the world begin preparing for a month of Ramadan fasting Thursday, many will be doing so in conditions increasingly harshened by climate change.
In some countries, the situation has got so bad that activists are asking for the topic to be tackled at Friday prayers, one calling for religious scholars to "take ownership of environmental issues."
"They [the Ulema] don’t seem to be doing it because they don’t seem to understand what is going on," Fazlun Khalid told Anadolu Agency this week.
Across Asia, Africa and the Middle East, millions have started to perform their fasts for the Islamic holy month despite displacement from extreme weather, water shortages caused by drought and heat waves, and with food prices inflated by crop failures.
Five of the 10 countries most vu...

On August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse is coming to the continental United States for the first time in 38 years, which may make it the most viewed total solar eclipse in history. These events generate so much excitement because the orbital mechanics of the earth-moon-sun system keep the moon's shadow small and mobile. It will touch any given spot on the planet only once in over 300 years on average. For that reason, most people must make a concerted effort if they are to witness this event in their lifetimes. In this video we explain the differences between a solar and lunar eclipse and why some believe that a total eclipse of the sun is the greatest natural phenomenon of them all.
If you're anywhere in the continental United States that day, you can preview exactly what the solar eclipse will look like for your particular zip code, and when it will peak.

Architect, artist, designer Julio Garcia had been designing plans for shipping container homes for a decade before he found the perfect place to build one: on a long, narrow stretch of his property in Savannah, Georgia. “I’m a big believer we should be adapting to the environment… I remember walking out and looking at the yard and thinking oh my god the land is calling for this linear design.”
He picked up two 40 foot shipping containers from the Port of Savannah and, thanks to much advance planning, he was able to install them without removing one tree from his property. He offset the two boxes, cut out the interior container walls and added I-beams, a shed roof and clerestory windows in the center to provide plenty of daylighting.
“There’s nothing worse than feeling like you’re inside a container so in the design we had to address that. I’ve been in a couple of projects and they don’t function very well and you’re like, ‘Oh, I still feel like I’m in a metal box’.”
Garcia believes containers can make for affordable homes: “you could put up a structure like this for about 50K”, but much of the interior was salvaged from other job sites (i.e. the drywall and the kitchen). His Price StreetProjects creates plans that are “almost do-it-yourself plans” for shipping container homes and he has installed commercial container spaces, but he’s a big believer that the site should determine the design.

As he prepares to leave, UNIFIL head says relations with communities critical to success

15 July 2016
The outgoing head of UNIFIL, Major-General Luciano Portolano, has stressed the importance of continuing close engagement and relations with the local population and the authorities for successful implementation of the UN Mission’s mandate.
“Operationally I define the relationship with the local population as my center of gravity,” he said in a recent interview. “It means an element that, if it exists, might lead to success; if it doesn’t exist it will lead, for sure, to complete disruption of the Mission.”
Major-General Portolano added: “So the link between the UNIFIL members and the local population is the most important element I recommend for the future leadership to take into consideration.”
The ItalianGeneral is leaving UNIFIL next week after leading the UN peacekeeping operation for two years. The UNIFIL Head of Mission and Force Commander is handing over the command to Major-General Michael Beary of Ireland.
Major-General Portolano has had extensive experience with multinational operations, having served as a commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), as well as in Iraq, Kosovo, and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. With the United Nations, he served as a MilitaryObserver in the Iraq-Kuwait Observation Mission and the Iran-Iraq Observation Group. He was also Military Attaché at the ItalianEmbassy in the United Kingdom and he served as the DeputyChief of Staff for Joint Operations in the Italian Armed Forces.
In his final interview to UNIFIL media, Major-General Portolano listed a wide range of accomplishments achieved during his two years at the helm of the UN peacekeeping mission, commanding more than 10,500 troops from 40 countries and nearly 1,000 civilian personnel.
“I arrived here in UNIFIL area of responsibility on the 24 of July 2014 when the war in Syria was ongoing and all the region was characterized by very heavy destabilization,” he said. “So the major highlight I think is that in the two years I was responsible for leading this fantastic UNIFIL mission as the Head of Mission and Force Commander was to maintain the southern part of Lebanon, which is our area of responsibility and our maritime area of responsibility, as one of the most stable areas - not only in Lebanon but in all the Middle East.”
But the role was not without challenges. The outgoing UNIFIL Force Commander contextualized these and also explained how the Mission was able to maintain a notable calm.
“The challenges were all the possible spillovers from the situation in the region and all the spillover from the Syrian conflict in terms of refugees and in terms of possible sleeping cells, and maintaining the integrity of the Blue Line when there was a strong tension between the parties. The solution was a little bit more complex, because in the south we have two Lebanese Armed Forces brigades deployed in order to maintain stability so we had to enforce the presence of UNIFIL on the ground. So we passed from an average of 250 operational activities per day to an average of 400 and sometimes even 500 operational activities per day on the ground, in the air and at sea.”

A humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa or Cwa) is a zone of subtropical climate characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild winters. Under the Köppen climate definition, this category of climate type covers a broad range of attributes, especially in terms of winter temperatures. Under the more modern Trewartha climate classification, most of the climates that have 8 or more months with a mean temperature of 10 C (50 F) are warm to hot much of the year with mild winters.

The project was sponsored by WECF and WASTE and was implemented by the BulgarianNGOEarthForever in 2006 (see www.earthforever.org).

(1 Sep 2012) Jordan and the UN refugee agency issued an urgent call to international donors on Saturday for 700 (m) million (US) dollars to help handle the rapidly rising number of Syrian refugees seeking safe haven in the country.
Jordanian Planning Minister Jafaar Hassan said the money would be used to assist 240-thousand refugees and other Syrians in Jordan.
He said they were an added drain on the country's already overburdened water and energy resources.
Some five thousand Syrians crossed into Jordan in a 24-hour period earlier this week.
More than 180-thousand Syrians are now currently sheltering in Jordan.
The United NationsHigh Commissioner for Refugees' (UNHCR) representative Andrew Harper said "many more Syrians" are expected to follow.
"I cannot see one positive indicator that would lead me to believe that the numbers are going to be reduced," he told reporters in Amman.
Harper said he and the Jordanian authorities anticipated they would also have to open other tent camps, if the influx continues as they have witnessed of late.
Jordan's first Zaatari tent city now hosts 25-thousand refugees.
Aid workers at the camp say the rapid influx is making it difficult to fully provide even basic services to new arrivals.
Harper said the needs were growing faster than funds were being received.
Unrest at the Zaatari camp prompted threats on Tuesday from Prime MinisterFayez Tarawneh to deport some 200 refugees rioting in protest over the camp's poor conditions.
Police said 28 officers were wounded in the riot, one of them with a fractured skull.
Many of the refugees have said they find the harsh environment in the camp - set on a parched, treeless stretch of land - a struggle, citing the constant dust storms, snakes and scorpions.
But Information MinisterSameeh Maaytah told the press conference that "there were no deportations."
He added: "Our priority is the safety of the Jordanian state and its stability. After that, our priority is to give full support to our brothers (referring to Syrian refugees)."
Harper added that 1,700 Syrian refugees had returned home over the course of the conflict, and that all those who did, went "voluntarily."
He said authorities were continuing to improve Zaatari camp, saying: "It's not perfect, but it's all we got."

As Muslims around the world begin preparing for a month of Ramadan fasting Thursday, many will be doing so in conditions increasingly harshened by climate change.
In some countries, the situation has got so bad that activists are asking for the topic to be tackled at Friday prayers, one calling for religious scholars to "take ownership of environmental issues."
"They [the Ulema] don’t seem to be doing it because they don’t seem to understand what is going on," Fazlun Khalid told Anadolu Agency this week.
Across Asia, Africa and the Middle East, millions have started to perform their fasts for the Islamic holy month despite displacement from extreme weather, water shortages caused by drought and heat waves, and with food prices inflated by crop failures.
Five of the 10 countries most vulnerable to climate change, according to rankings by international credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s, have large Muslim populations - Bangladesh, Senegal, Nigeria, Philippines and Indonesia.
Though the challenges vary according to each country's geography, many of those hit hardest are in the remote, rural communities of developing countries, where governments have limited resources to tackle the rapid changes.
This is the case for Muslims in northern Bangladesh -- the world’s third most vulnerable country, according to Standard & Poor’s -- where many were displaced by flash-flooding last week.
Shahidul Islam Mondol from the northern Bangladeshi town of Bogra told Anadolu Agency that his small restaurant was one of the numerous losses that the town suffered in floods.
"Ramadan is coming and I don’t know how people will do. Flood water is everywhere - in the kitchen, in the front yards, in the cultivatable lands," he said.
"People are going out of their minds trying to decide where to take shelter. In this situation, many people will not be able to perform the fasting, even if they wish."
Mominul Haq Monju, from the northern Kurigram district, said that while the waters may recede quickly, day laborers will be affected by the damage to crops.
"Because of the flood water, they have no work, they will face difficulty in observing Ramadan. Because of lack of food and money, they will suffer," said Monju.
Last year hundreds of thousands of people were left homeless by heavy flooding, which has become common in northern Bangladesh.
Reservoirs across the border in neighboring India often overspill, leading to flooding during the rainy season. But in the dryer months, they prevent water passing through to Bangladesh, leaving rivers dry and depriving locals of fish; a vital source of nutrition and income.

As Muslims around the world begin preparing for a month of Ramadan fasting Thursday, many will be doing so in conditions increasingly harshened by climate change.
In some countries, the situation has got so bad that activists are asking for the topic to be tackled at Friday prayers, one calling for religious scholars to "take ownership of environmental issues."
"They [the Ulema] don’t seem to be doing it because they don’t seem to understand what is going on," Fazlun Khalid told Anadolu Agency this week.
Across Asia, Africa and the Middle East, millions have started to perform their fasts for the Islamic holy month despite displacement from extreme weather, water shortages caused by drought and heat waves, and with food prices inflated by crop failures.
Five of the 10 countries most vulnerable to climate change, according to rankings by international credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s, have large Muslim populations - Bangladesh, Senegal, Nigeria, Philippines and Indonesia.
Though the challenges vary according to each country's geography, many of those hit hardest are in the remote, rural communities of developing countries, where governments have limited resources to tackle the rapid changes.
This is the case for Muslims in northern Bangladesh -- the world’s third most vulnerable country, according to Standard & Poor’s -- where many were displaced by flash-flooding last week.
Shahidul Islam Mondol from the northern Bangladeshi town of Bogra told Anadolu Agency that his small restaurant was one of the numerous losses that the town suffered in floods.
"Ramadan is coming and I don’t know how people will do. Flood water is everywhere - in the kitchen, in the front yards, in the cultivatable lands," he said.

John Bitove: Macedonia should maximize its business and export opportunities!

As part of Macedonia2025 Board of Directors, John Bitove talks about the very beginnigs and establishment of the organization with the only goal in mind – Helping build a stronger nation! Yet the question remains of why foreign investments have not shown their full potential in Macedonia. In his opinion, it is important for Macedonia to be part of the European economy. At the end of the day, you want economy that creates jobs and well-being for the citizens.

"Even if the Macedonian government decide to reestablish ties with mainland China, it won't have much effect on the business side of things. The Chinese do business very differently from the Taiwanese - Taiwan operates within a free trade system - a system in which politics are often bypassed in the interests of business. This means that economic factors may well play a more influential role in the Macedonian government's eventual decision-making process than political ones."

STORYLINE:
Taiwan is bracing itself for the worst as Macedonia remains on the verge of severing their diplomatic relations in favour of re-establishing ties with China, which promises to support Macedonia in its fight against ethnic Albanian rebels.
Skopje was due to cut ties officially at a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday - but the decision was stalled due to a full agenda.
Taiwan said on Monday that it hoped it could maintain diplomatic relations, but their outlook was pessimistic.
Macedonian officials say they want to continue doing business with Taiwan and keep diplomatic ties with China, but Taiwan has refused.
At the Taiwanese stands at the industrial fair in Skopje the message was 'forget about politics and let's get down to business'.
And convinced that economic interests may carry more weight for both countries, Taiwanese businessmen were optimistic in their outlook.
Skopje switched its diplomatic recognition from Beijing to Taipei in January, 1999 in return for an investment package worth 300 (m) million US dollars in cash and more than one (b) billion US dollars over a longer period - little of which has been received.
Taipei has been hoping that ties with Skopje would open a gateway to Europe, where Macedonia and the Vatican are the nation's only allies.
China reacted to the package by vetoing the mandate of a UN peacekeeping force to Macedonia in a UN Security Council vote.
Macedonia's newly formed coalition government has recently portrayed the setting up of formal ties with Taiwan as "a mistake".
As it faces a continuing ethnic crisis domestically, Macedonia needs all the support it can get from major world powers, especially those on the UN Security Council.
Apart from the Vatican, Macedonia is the only European state to recognise Taiwan, which Beijing regards as a part of its territory awaiting reunification.

Creating Napa Valley in Macedonia - CNN
CNN's Nic Robertson mets a Macedonian businessman who returns to wine making with a new idea.
CNN's new series i-List takes you to a different country each month. In May, we visit Macedonia focusing on changes shaping the country's economy, culture and its social fabric.
Demir Kapija, Macedonia -- Jordan Trajkov was a successful banker studying for an MBA when he visited Napa Valley in California.
The visit inspired him to go back to his roots and start a winery in his native Macedonia. Trajkov's father had owned a vineyard, but when Macedonia was part of socialist Yugoslavia he was not allowed to produce his own wine.
"There were just a few big wineries and my father had to sell his grapes to them." Trajkov told CNN. "But my grandfather had his own winery before socialism and that inspired me.
"From an early age I had worked on my father's vineyard, but I had never had the opportunity to make my own wine."
Trajkov, now 41, worked in banking for seven years in Macedonia, London and New York. He was studying for an MBA in Phoenix, Arizona, when he took the holiday in Napa Valley that was to change his career.
Bringing together the concept of wine tourism with grape growing and wine making was fascinating for me
Trajkov returned to Macedonia and in 2003 bought some land close to where he had grown up.
He planted his first grapes in 2005 and began selling wine from his PopovaKula winery the following year.
Popova Kula produces 23 varieties of wine, but Trajkov's favorites are those native to Macedonia.
He is keen to give a future to the ancient vines denied when Macedonia was part of Yugoslavia. Then, production was all about bulk export of more common grapes, such as cabernets and sauvignons.
Alongside his better-known grapes, Trajkov produces Vranec and Stanushina, and has won international medals for several of his wines.
"I describe our philosophy as 'glocalization', promoting the local varieties globally. We are really traditionalists. We think that there are some wonderful domestic varieties."
Trajkov put all his own money into the winery, and his father sold his own nearby vineyards to invest too.
Trajkov's former career as a banker has helped, and he became the first Macedonian company to be floated on its stock exchange.
"I knew how to do that because of my background. We have strong equity," he said. "I cannot say our sales are as we originally predicted in our business plan, but I can say we hope to get there because our sales are increasing year to year. That's because we have highest quality wine."
To increase sales further, Trajkov knows he must work hard on promoting his wines more widely.
He has even built a hotel to accommodate tourists, with each room themed on a wine. Alongside the hiking, bird-watching, fishing and skiing on offer locally, the Napa Valley influence becomes clear.

Skopje is Macedonia’s cultural, economic and political hub. It’s not the most popular European city but can be quite fascinating for those who can appreciate its centuries-old history and multi-cultural traditions.

A Fast Stop in Lively Bitola, Macedonia

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com
Bitola was an important junction connecting the south of the Adriatic Sea with the Aegean Sea and Central Europe; an important consulate city, trade center for the Roman Empire and second largest city in Macedonia.
Unfortunately, we only had one hour in lively Bitola that has many historic sights to see as well as a pedestrian street lined with restaurants and cafes. This walking area led past wonderful Art Deco architecture that is, believe it or not, undamaged.
